The Goa Transport Aggregators guidelines 2025 for app-based taxis in the state is all set to go for a toss, going by the stiff opposition put up by the taxi operators' unions with the support of a few MLAs -- the underlying reason being a threat to the livelihood of taxi operators on various counts. I wonder why such things do not happen in other states of the country where the aggregator taxi-app business is flourishing, and people are happy and contented. In Goa it is a different ball game for sure , and it doesn't matter a bit if the people and visitors to the state are charged exorbitant taxi fares and cheated by unscrupulous taxi drivers, as long as the taxi operators are happy and the vote banks of politicians are secured. A very sad state of affairs indeed.
